law remains as it is, shield for thisves

does need amendment, for at present it en-
courages reckless suits which result in
nothing to the plaintiff and COSTS OF de-

To the Editor of the Gazette.
In reply TO your note Of the goth ulto.,
1 will state. The prohibition canvass has
had no present effect upon the Republican
party in this state. 1t is true some Dem
ocrats were very much displeased with
their party on account OF it's seton in
reference to its position On prohibition,
but they had nowhere to go. The provo
cation was not great enough to drive
them into the Republican party, as they
are, primarily, Democrats, and secondsr-
lily, Prohibitionists. So the Republican
party has gained no sccessions and lost
none OF its members. The effect Of the
prohibition canvass upon the future OF
Republican party in this state is almost
wholly conditional upon the future action
OF the Democratic party 10 reference to
the disposal of that vexatious question.
The prohibition question was, as to the
Republicans, "go-ss-you-please."

Correspondence of the Gazette.
GRANBURY, Ten, Sept. 13.-Sheriff B.
W. Morris has succeeded In making an
other very important arrest, the criminal
being Sam Cade. The fu gitive having
been at large about sixteen months be
fore any trace could be made. Sheriff
Morris left about ten days SGD, no one
having any idea where he was going, and
when he returned with his prisoner, every
body was surprised, and the Sheriff re-
ceived many congratulations on his sue
cess. Cade's crime is forgery in several
cases and deserving g heavy bOni, with
other and less important charges. Cade
was confined in Jail al Dallas four years
ago for several months for rob5ing the
mails between this place and Weatherford
but on account of insufficient evidence
he wss given his liberty. BY the time
the courts here grinds him through in
his various crimes his freedom Will be
limited.

NOMINATION SPEECH
at the Convention Of the Native American
Party.
SHAWNIUT.

SHAWMUT.
GENTLEMEN-It is with pride and un-
qualified pleasure thst present to this
convention of native Americans, the name
of ore whose record on every subject Of
interest to our common country cannot
be assailed.
He is not Catholic, ne is not q bigoted
Protestant; be didn't vote for the back
sslsry grab, nor did he ever own any min
ing stocks in the Hooking valley.
When the call to arms YVES sounded, ne
was there, al tbs forefront, not by proxy,
but in person, and when the "cruel war
was over" he stopped fighting, like q
man, and quietly resumed his former
habits of life,
His domes tic relations have slHsys
been tranquil and above suspicion.
Foreign relations he never had, being
as l have intimsted, a native American.
He is opposed to standing army, and
has been all his life, and some of the
grandest efforts OF his brilliant career
have been directed to the reduction OF
this dreadful menace to q Republican
form Of government,
On the tariff too he is sound, believing
truly and wisely, that the future of this
great nation depends largely upon, and in
tact imperatively demands, the protection
of our infant industries.
He doesn't advocate the building Of g
Chinese wall ABOUT our infant manufacto-
ries, neither does he sanction free trade,
but recommends nursing the idea
carefully while young aud inexperienced,
and as it grows older and more self
reliant, teaching it TO shoot the rapids of
adversely, and generally to rustic for
itself.
On the question of extraditton OF the
American colony in Canada, he pertinent
~ says, 'Let 'em alone-We don't want
'em; and, besides, this is part of our
scheme OF retaliation on account Of the
fisheries trouble"
AS to battle flags, he is in favor OF each
man freezing to mis- own il he has one, and
giving to those who have lost
any all that have inadvert-
emily come into your possession, the
| claimant to prove property, pay charges
and ask no questions.
On the question of the influx of for
| eigners, he is American to the backbone
and in his own forceful Language says
"FGr generations my family has been OPP
posed to the foreign element, and we
have done what we could to stem the
surglng volume of their millions, but in
vain; still they come, and though 1 tigat
them as l will TO the last gasp, twill
avail me nothing, but when in after years
the glorious work is accomplished, trust
my name will 5e mentioned as one who
did his duty while he lived, true to his
instincts and his native land"
Fellow-citzens, nominate for the ex-
allied Office of President of this American
Union the most distinguished American
within our bordeTs-slIow me to present
to you Captain Colorow.

Should the Democratic party in its
convention next year declare prohibition
undemocratic, it will be offensive to
msny prohibition Democrats, but they
Will not, for that reason, lin the Repub-
lican party; but would become out-snd-
out Prohibitionists were it not for fear,
on their part, that 1t might in some way
aid the Republican party, watch, to their
minds, is e greater evil than whisky,
And this is especially true in all southeFH
states, except those that are developing
their mining and manufacturing inter-
ests. Should the Republican party de
clare fer prohibition it would cost il the
loss of its German vote, but they would
not gain the Democratic Prohibitionists,
for the reason, in addition TO that shove
stated, outside Of g few centers Of pOpu-
lation, our southernH Democrats are
Bourbons and don't intend that any pro
hibitiOn or labor movement shall be their
"Trojsn horse To make myself more

those two movements occupy the same
relative positions in the southern states
above mentioned. l think it is plain
to any observer OF current politics that

to labor, hiss placed our Democratic
friends in Virginia and Tennessee

they first 60 to sea; that is, unsettled in

and himself; leaving to Mr.. Randall and his
friends to say to the manufacturing inter
ests that it means protection, and the
others to say to the rural and shipping
interests that 1t means free trade.

The OFFICIAL VOTE.

The official vote on the various amend
ments submitted to the people in the late
election shows that they have, with
out exception, been defeated by ma
jorities ranging all the way from
is, 900 to l47, 900 votes. Prohibition
wss defeated by 92,354 votes. 1t is
unfortunate for Texas that the vote on
prohibition was taken at the same cleo
ton with the vote on these other ques-
,tions. Without gn exception they should
have been passed. The amendment pro-
viding for an increase OF psy for legisla-
tors was the only provision at all debsta-
Bile. For this amendment it msy be
urged that it is necessary in order
10 secure coed material in the law max
ing department Of the stste. No man
will consent 10 work for 81 per day in 8
city where living expenses are as high IS
il Austin. No man can be expected to
do it. In reply it may be urged that the
| regular session is long enough to perform
all the work necessary, and that increas-
ing the length Of the session would be of
no service to the state because compars-
lively nothing is ever done until towards
the end of the session. Be that as 1t may,
there were other amendments which
have no such objections to be urged
against them and which should have
been passed. The amendment proposing
| to change the university investments was
| PLAIN and simple business proposition
which must sooner or late be adopted.
The amendment providing for the collec-
ton of taxes in unorganized counties is a
necessity also, and justice to these coun-
ties demands that the amendment
should have been adopted. The
proposition to provide for the reg
istration OF voters in cities was
surely palpable necessity, opposed only
by those whose Interest it is to corrupt
